DEDICATED CIRCUIT AND ELECTRICAL INFO
A “Dedicated Circuit” means that each outlet you plug into should not have anything else
running on that same circuit. The easiest way to verify this is to locate the main circuit breaker
box, and turn off the breaker(s) one at a time. Once a breaker has been turned off, the only
thing that should not have power to it are the units in question. No lamps, vending machines,
fans, sound systems, or any other item should lose power when you perform this test.
Non-looped (isolated) neutral/grounding means that each circuit must have an individual
neutral/ground connection coming from it, and terminating at an approved earth ground.
You cannot “jumper” a single neutral/ground from one circuit to the next.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
For your safety and to ensure good unit performance, the ground on this circuit must
be non-looped (isolated). Please refer to NEC article 210-21 and 210-23. Any alterations
to the standard power cord provided could void all warranties of this product.
For units with an integrated TV (3xe, 7xe and 7xi), the TV power requirements are included in the unit. An RG6
coaxial cable with ‘F Type’ compression fittings on each end will need to be connected to the cardio unit and the
video source. Additional power requirements are not needed for the add-on digital TV.
120 V UNITS
All Matrix 3x, 3xe, 5x, 7xe and 7xi 120 V ClimbMills require the use of a 100-125
V, 60 Hz and a 15 A “Dedicated Circuit”, with a non-looped (isolated) neutral/
ground for power. This outlet should be a NEMA 5-15R and have the same
configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this product.
These ClimbMills can be daisy-chained together with up to 4 units per 15 A
dedicated circuit. Matrix daisy-chain cord adapters are sold separately.
220 V UNITS
All Matrix 3x, 3xe, 5x, 7xe and 7xi 220 V ClimbMills require the use of a 216-250
V, 50 Hz and a 15 A “Dedicated Circuit”, with a non-looped (isolated) neutral/
ground for power. This outlet should be a NEMA 6-20R and have the same
configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this product. These
ClimbMills can be daisy-chained together with up to 4 units per dedicated
15 A circuit. Matrix daisy-chain cord adapters are sold separately.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
The unit must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk
of electric shock. The unit is equipped with a cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into
an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances. If the user does not follow these
grounding instructions, the user could void the Matrix limited warranty.
ADDITIONAL ELECTRICAL INFO
In addition to the dedicated circuit requirement, the proper gauge wire
must be used from the circuit breaker box, to each outlet that will have
the maximum number of units running off of it. If the distance from the
circuit breaker box to each outlet, is 100 ft (30.5 m) or less, then 12 gauge
wire should be used. For distances greater than 100 ft (30.5 m) from the
circuit breaker box to the outlet, a 10 gauge wire should be used.
ENERGY SAVING / LOW-POWER MODE
All units are configured with the ability to enter into an energy saving / low-
power mode when the unit has not been in use for a specified period of
time. Additional time may be required to fully reactivate this unit once it has
entered the low-power mode. This energy saving feature may be enabled
or disabled from within the ‘Manager Mode’ or ‘Engineering Mode.’
ADD-ON DIGITAL TV (3X AND 5X)
Additional power requirements are not needed for the add-on digital TV.
An RG6 coaxial cable with ‘F Type’ compression fittings will need to be
connected between the video source and each add-on digital TV unit.
